Ghost Road in Baltimore, Maryland

When drivers go down this long dirt path leading from a small neighborhood, their headlights seem to mysteriously go out. Cars have been also been known to stall, and then start again on their own. Pounding can even be heard on the outside of the vehicle. On the right side of the path, when the moon is just right, one can see a tombstone. The stone will sometimes have a blue tinge to it with a floating figure standing behind it. No one knows the story of the tombstone in the middle of the woods, but no one dares to get close enough to investigate. - See more at: http://www.strangeusa.com/Viewlocation.aspx?id=4630#sthash.kCCjfefC.dpuf

McPike Mansion

The McPike Mansion in Alton, Illinois is a mansion that was constructed in 1869. There have numerous reports of paranormal activity occurring in the mansion, including reports of hearing children laughing and sightings of apparitions moving around the halls. These hauntings are somewhat unusual in the sense that they are not linked to a murder or suicide.

Hockomock Swamp sits in the middle of a paranormal hot spot known as the Bridgewater Triangle in southeast Mass. It’s believed that Native Americans cursed the swamp centuries ago as a result of a dispute with Colonial settlers. Activity includes battle cries, drumming and singing. UFOs have also been reported in the area dating as far back as the 1700s, and a Big Foot type creature said to scavenge in local gardens.

The Gardner-Pingree House

The Gardner-Pingree House is located at 128 Essex Street in Salem, Massachusetts. The Gardner-Pingree House is now owned by the Peabody Essex Museum. It was built in 1804-1805 by John Gardner, Jr., who was a local merchant. It was later owned by Captain Joseph White. He lived in the house with his family until they were brutally murdered in the house in April 1830. In 1834, David Pingree owned the house. He and his heirs lived there until 1933. Today many believe the house is haunted by the White family. People claim to see ghostly faces looking out of the second floor windows, and many hear ghostly footsteps while touring the house. Some even claim that the grisly murder is reenacted on the anniversary of their death.

Pendle Hill

Pendle Hill, home of the pendle witches is known for it’s enigmatic atmosphere and haunted happenings.
In the year of 1612, peasants dwelt inside a large limestone tower - these peasants are said to have power far more than what the mind can fathom. In the league of the Devil, they created effigies using human hair and teeth.
These were the pendle witches, and they were known to cause mayhem.

Locals died of unexplained illnesses, often in great pain. Milk would turn blue, the cattle would die without any sign of a source; soon, the hill became a landmark of fear and danger.
One man, Roger Nowell, arrested too inhabitants of the stone tower named Malkin. They were sent to Lancaster where they were trialed; two days later the witches congregated at the tower, only to be sent to their death by hanging.

Even now, the hill continues to be associated with witchcraft and Devil worship.
Some say the witches still haunt the buildings  - often, locals are too afraid to talk about the history of the hill. Visitors say that when approaching the hill, they feel a sense of anger and fear. 
The TV programme ‘Most Haunted’ - whom reporters state was the scariest hunt they’ve ever done, claim to have experienced injuries or pain and have been strangled by unseen hands.
Derek Acorah said that briefly he has contacted Elizabeth Device (an accused witch); he said that she stated there were 9 other witches in the room, and none of them wanted the crew present. 

Below are the family’s of witches.

Nocton Hall Hospital, UK

The imposing Nocton Hall began life as an 18th century manor house.  After the U.S. entered the Great War in 1917, Nocton Hall became a convalescent home for young American officers until 1919, then stood empty until World War Two.  In 1940, the hall and 200 acres of parkland were aquired by the Air Ministry and became an RAF hospital.  Over the next five decades, the Nocton Hall served as an army “clearing station” for the Americans, an officers’ club for the British, and latterly a 740 bed hospital under RAF control until 1984.  U.S. forces took over again during the Gulf War of 1991/92, with up to 1,300 medical staff on site.  After 1995 Nocton Hall fell into abandonment and two servere arson attacks during the last decade have reduced the grand building to little more than a shell.

It is believed to be haunted by one particular sobbing ghost. The ghost of a young girl was said to roam the halls and particularly enjoy haunting one bedroom within the building.

Legend of The Devil’s Elbow

A curved stretch of road on the B6105 between Glossop and Woodhead is known as the Devils Elbow, it has been the scene of strange events and is associated with a Devil legend. Many place names in this area may have strange origins. Names such as Shining Clough and Lantern Pike suggest places associated with mysterious light phenomena.

In legend the Devils Elbow is said to have been a meeting place for two lovers, their father was against the union and swore that he would rather the Devil take his daughter than have them meet again. On their next meeting the Devil appeared and chased the terrified couple across the moor.

As the Devil reached out to claim his prize a mighty voice cried out and the devils bent arm turned to stone. He ripped it out and threw it on the moor forming the bend in the road.

In more recent times a strange black form sliding from the moorland across the road has been witnessed in the vicinity of the Devil’s Elbow.
